Does anyone know of this plane? (The Smoothie)  I think plans were
published somewhere. It was either a 40 or 60 size and used the
Sullivan molded foam wings. I've looked in all my plans catalogs and
cannot find it.

Thanks for all your `helpful'  :-) suggestions.
But as for Australia and NZ - great but I'm not sure I want to be
that far from civiilisation !  (Only joking - my best friend from
schooldays lives in Auckland)

Is there any reason im told to use the same capacity on 2 packs on a large
plane?

How's about coleman fuel.  Has anyone run it in there gasser?  I was thinking
about it and looked on the can.  It says petrolated naptha.  I don't rightly
know what that is.  A fancy name for GAs maybe.  Eddie Fulmer

What should I use to fuelproof an engine bay? Using a two stroke Irvine .46
in a heavy trainer plane.
Will epoxy glue do or is there something more purpose made?

sick of snow, where is the best place to live ?
this should be a long post..

Finally decided you can have the summer when ever you like.
That's a big call coming from south of the equator on our oversized Island
paradise. Well it was until yesterday. You see, the barometer soared to 44.3
Celsius yesterday, which prevented any flying where I live, because of ...

Yup, 2 of them attached to 2 bloody, great, huge parrots.
Yesterday I saw loads of gulls and other birds milling around.
The centre of attention was these 2 huge parrots flying around.
Today some kids knocked at the front door and were all excited.

Does anyone here have a NIB  Delta Vortex kit they want to sell?
